easily access them.

Codabar

Codabar is commonly used to represent mathematical and financial figures because it can

contain the digits 0 through 9, plus (+) and minus (-) signs, as well as decimal points. This code

can also contain punctuation characters, including the forward slash (/), dollar sign ($), and

colon (:).

Codabar Library

DYMO Label software includes two special versions of Codabar that are used to barcode

books. One version calculates the checksum from left to right (L>R). The other version

calculates the checksum from right to left (R>L).

Code 128-A

Code 128-A can represent numbers and uppercase letters, as well as control characters.

Code 128-Auto

Code 128-Auto uses a combination of Code 128-A, B, and C. DYMO Label software analyzes

the data and then uses whichever combination of codes yields the most compact barcode,

switching from one code to another in the middle of the barcode, if necessary.

Code 128-B

Code 128-B can represent numbers, upper- and lowercase letters, and punctuation characters.

Code 128-C

Code 128-C yields very compact numeric-only barcodes. This code requires numeric

information only and an even number of digits.

Code 39

Code 39 (also called "Code 3 of 9") can represent the capital letters A through Z, the numbers

0 to 9, the space character, and certain symbols. The name "3 of 9" results from the convention

that 3 of the nine elements used in the code are wide.

Code 39 Library

DYMO Label software includes two special versions of Code 39 that are used to barcode

books. One version calculates the checksum from left to right (L>R). The other version

calculates the checksum from right to left (R>L).

Code 39 w/ Mod 43 Checksum

This variation of Code 39 automatically includes a checksum character used to verify the

accuracy of the data.

EAN

European Article Numbering (EAN) is used for products that are made or marketed outside

the United States.
